Rhinoplasty to elevate nasal tip

The rhinoplasty procedure would involve tilting the tip up and releasing the depressor septi ligament so that the tip does not droop upon animation. Combined with narrowing the tip, bridge, and osteotomies, through closed rhinoplasty the entire procedure would last approximately an hour under general anesthesia. Your rhinoplasty should be done in a certified surgery center with a surgeon who has extensive experience in rhinoplasty.

Thanks for the photo. Shortening a long nose is commonly done as part of a routine rhinoplasty if necessary. It is accomplished by removing the excess cartilage and lining of the nose which are causing it to droop. Sometimes the drooping can recur with time and may need to be reshortened, but it is a minor revision and simple to undergo if needed.

An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon should be able to achieve an improvement in your tip rotation. This would involved raising your tip. Seeing additional view of your nose would allow for a better judgement of what else could be done during surgery.

There are lots of ways to approve upon one's nasal appearance. You only show a tilted side profile on the picture posted. To get a better understanding of your current nose, you would need proper pictures to give a better evaluation. Of course, you would then need to be seen in consultation to check on some other functional issues related to your nose before coming up with the final surgical plan.

But based on your one photo, it looks like you have a long, Middle Eastern male nose, with possibly a slight dorsal nasal hump and a hanging columella. Each of these problems would need to be addressed, if these are truly your trouble areas. There are a set of surgical options that would effectively treat each of the issues described. Your best bet is to see a plastic surgeon with rhinoplasty experience, especially of the male nose. There are many qualified individuals in your area that will do good work. Just make sure that the individual is board-certified in plastic surgery before committing.
